Our Holistic Approach to Resilience

We’re driven to help athletes, teams, and coaches unlock their potential.

Team Dynamics, Mental Skills Training, and Coaching the Coaches Triangle

Team Dynamics

We’ll address team dynamics to ensure the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. We will help clarify team identity and vision to build trust and cohesion that translates to performance.

Mental Skills Training

We’ll train your team to use mental skills and strategies to enhance performance and well-being. During each session, athletes will train skills like visualization, focus, and performance routines that help them perform at their best more consistently.

Coaching the Coaches

We are passionate about supporting coaches in their own performance and well-being. We empower coaches by providing high-performance frameworks and strategies to further integrate mental skills training and build team cohesion.

How It Works

Meeting with the Coach

Number 1

We’ll start by meeting with the coach to gain a clear understanding of the team’s goals and challenges to ensure that the training aligns with their specific needs. Our goal is to identify and align with the team’s values and culture, creating a strategy that supports cohesion and growth. Having a detailed roadmap helps us outline actionable steps to enhance the team’s performance and overall success.

Team Assessments + Sessions

Number 2

Next, we’ll evaluate individual mental skills and provide reports to the individual athlete and coach. Once reports are in, we’ll facilitate weekly, biweekly, or monthly sessions focused on core mental skills. We’re also available to attend practice and games to provide additional resources for individual athletes and for the team to address challenges.

Ongoing Feedback + Adjustments

Number 3

Personalized feedback lets each player see their unique growth areas. We regularly review progress with the coach and team to keep the momentum strong.

Hear from athletes & coaches:

  • Hiring Fortitude Mental Performance is one of the best decisions we’ve ever made as a Program. Coach Ford and his staff have not only helped our athletes reach their full potential by winning the mental side of the game, but they’ve also helped our coaching staff by teaching us how to be more mentally tough in the face of adversity. I am extremely grateful to be partnered with them and we can’t wait to see what the future holds!

  • Brian led us through various sessions that brought the team closer together and made this season more enjoyable. Personally, he boosted my confidence, and as a team, it helped us work towards a common goal. It was invaluable to have someone get the team on the same page about our mindset.
